ABSTRACT

As sulphonylurea derivatives are used ubiquitously, the possibility that they may cause liver disease deserves attention. In contrast to the known pattern of reversible parenchymal liver disease due to sulphonylurea derivatives, we describe a fatal case of glyburide-induced cholestatic hepatitis with liver failure.
